You might want to purchase a PCI IDE controller, its an add-in card that has its own firmware for harddisks and thus doesn't rely on the system BIOS. Hopefully your BIOS allows to boot from add-in cards if they have their own system ROM firmware. [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_Boot_Specification#BIOS_Boot_Specification ] Something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Syba-Combo-SATA-Card-SY-VIA-150/sim/B002GHBVSA/2 The software route would be a DDO ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_Drive_Overlay ) but I don't know if these programs are freely available or only for sale (like Ontrack's old DDO software). Usually ends up giving lots of trouble when disk maintenance programs are running.
